AI-Powered Takeoffs Save You Hours

Sage Estimating

Requires manual takeoff input and complex Excel exports.

Why does it matter?

STACK speeds up the process without sacrificing precision.

Collaboration in Real-Time

Sage Estimating

Built for single-user desktop experiences. Sharing requires cumbersome file transfers and version control issues.

STACK

Built in the cloud with multi-user collaboration, version history, and comment tracking so teams can work together in real time—wherever they are.

Why does it matter?

Miscommunication and outdated files slow your team down and cost you jobs. Real-time collaboration keeps everyone aligned and moving forward together.

One Platform for Takeoffs + Estimates

Sage Estimating

Works best when paired with other Sage products. Integrations and workflows can be rigid and costly.

STACK

Combines takeoffs, estimates, and bid-ready proposals in one unified interface—so you can go from plan to proposal without switching tools.

Why does it matter?

Switching between tools slows you down and increases the risk of errors. STACK streamlines your entire workflow so you can move from plan to proposal without missing a beat.
